- Embora ache que outras pessoas deveriam preencher esse espaco, vamos la': Intempestiva, meio xarope, geralmente legal, chata de vez em quando, sincera e leal, transcendente às vezes, mistica outras, struturalista contra propria vontade mas ah...chega.

They all seem to be kissing on the lips except for the Klimt. The ladies face is turned away from her lover. The Hayez I think is my favorite. I like the tone and texture of the piece. It just appeals to me with a Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet feel to it. The first is a bit too...primitive for my liking. The Rodin, is okay. The Picasso is so far out there you couldn't find it with the telescope at the Palomar Observatory. But then, I'm about as artistically astute as a rock.
I think I probably like Brancusi best. I like the symmetry, the reflection of self in other if you'll allow me to be pompous. It's also the reason it's the odd one out, as the others have a certain top down masculine quality to them- except possibly the Picasso but it would take me a long time to come to terms with that painting as I'm still more at the 'err yes' stage (should that be 'urgh yes'?
Interestingly I read Brancusi as man on left woman on right- still like a sentence that starts with the subject and is read left to right. So I am a good masculinist after all. But a closer look suggests the figure on the left has breasts (it's difficult to tell from the googleimages) and pure logic suggests we should be able to see two women or two men there.
ps- just looked at your Brancusi again and I think it may be back to front- google puts the slightly more womanly figure on the left and she seems to be on the right for you... When I commented earlier I was looking at a googleimage, not yours
Ok, I'm officially stumped. What is th difference?
The difference is what Carl talks about above. The Brancusi is the only depiction in which both ppl are portrayed as equals. Man and woman at the same level and, as Carl suggests, the photo of the painting is back-to-front, so really, the woman is in reality on the left, in the original sculpture, I suspect.
It appears they're the same person -- reflection of self in the other.
Relationship between equals.
Well there ya go. I'm going back to my rock! It's dark under there and I like that!!!
